Beaded Pluto: First Post

I mentioned a few posts back that I had started working on another beaded project.  This is the piece I designed for Pluto that is similar to the one I made for Chip 'n Dale.

To the right is the image I used to make my pattern.  However, I did not do the extreme shading they did in the image.  I wanted him to look more "old school" like the original animations.

This one is a bit simpler than Chip 'n Dale.  I was thinking of adding a bone in the upper left hand corner as I had added the acorn in Chip 'n' Dale, but I didn't like the way it looked and eventually abandoned that idea.

So I started off with a bang, 41 rows completed.  Granted quite a few of those were only two colors, but still, it was quick.

As of April 21, 2015, 41 Rows

When I started working on Pluto I slowed down a bit.

As of April 28, 2015, 57 Rows

And then I took a break.  And today I worked on a whole bunch.

As of July 7, 2015, 87 Rows

I did 30 rows, completed 2 colors and got most of his head done.

I think I'm going back to working on Ophelia for the rest of the day.  I haven't gotten very far on the new page yet.

Beaded Chip 'n Dale: Third Post - Complete

I'm happy to say that I've completed Chip 'n Dale!  I took some time off after my last round of working on them, but picked it up two days ago.

I actually only did two rows the day after my last post on them, which looked like this:

As of August 21, 2013, 102 Rows

 When I worked on it yesterday I did 21 rows to bring it to this:

As of October 19, 2013, 123 Rows

 And today, I did the final 21 rows:

As of October 20, 2013, 144 Rows - Completed

I think they look cute.  I'm quite happy with the way they turned out.  Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to display these guys, I have absolutely no idea.

I think the next one of these I'll work on will be Pluto.  He's my next favorite of these that I've designed.

Beaded Chip 'n Dale: Second Post

Well, I really haven't been doing much crafting.  Computer games took up some of my time, work is taking up most.  Monday night I finally got into the mood to work on something and that something was my beaded Chip 'n Dale.  So I pulled it out.

The first picture is after a short night of work.  I only did 4 rows from the previous picture, but you can see the beginnings of Dale's foot.

As of August 18, 2013, 70 rows.

I put as of August 18th on this, but, honestly, I have no idea when I actually did these four rows.  I just put that date since I picked it up on the 19th, so technically this is how it looked on the 18th before I worked on it again.

So here's what I did after a long break:

As of August 19, 2013, 81 rows.

This time I stopped just as Chip's foot was becoming visible.

And I did quite a bit more today.

As of August 20, 1013, 100 rows.

I wasn't going to do this much, but I was close to the end of the tan color so I kept beading until the row that contained the last bead of that color was added.

Who knows what I'm going to work on.  Will I continue with this or finally finish Here Be Dragons?  Or will I work on something completely different?  I have no clue.

Beaded Chip 'n Dale: First Post

I've been wanting to work on this one for a while.  I love Disney, really, what's not to love?  A while back I created a bunch of charts with Disney characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Chip 'n Dale & Tinkerbell.  I took some images I found and made them into beading charts.  My two favorites out of them were Pluto and Chip 'n Dale.  To the right is the image I used to make Chip 'n Dale.

All the cartoons I remember had them as the same color so that's how I'm going to make them, plus there aren't a lot of browns in Delicas.  Chip and Dale will be made from shiny beads, while the background will be matte beads.

I decided to start on this when I ran out of one of the bead colors I needed for Logan.  While creating this pattern the upper left corner seemed a little bare so I added an acorn.  You can see a little bit more than half of it in the first progress picture.

As of March 31, 2013, 25 rows.

Now you can see all of the acorn, their eyes, and Dale's red nose has appeared.

As of April 1, 2013, 50 rows.

I didn't get as much done today as I have been getting done, but their heads are now complete.

As of April 2, 2013, 66 rows.

The beads for Logan have probably arrived, so I'll pick those up when I get back home.  I'll probably go back and forth working on these two for the time being.  And maybe add some french beaded flowers in the mix!
